Hey guys, Im trying to make a fin mold. I am finding it to be a long process and a waste to lay up a whole sheet and cut out individual fins. i thought it would be a little more efficient having a mold. However I am having a problem making a mold from one of my fins, It is one i made. I am trying to make a mold out of plaster then a resin mold. No matter what i do they all come out wrong. Has anyone done this before? Can anyone give me some hints? Thanks Klein
